[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Matt1]

Logically there isn't any painless way to kill something. If you kill an animal you are causing harm. Now i would understand this course of action if it was based upon a hunter gatherer culture but if you consider it on a mass farming level it seems to be rather cruel when you have an alternative of eating a Vegan or Vegetarian diet. I recently went back to being a vegetarian after i thought it through, it basically boils down to desiring something that causes harm, which isn't necessary because there is an non harmful alternative available.

If you can eat a healthy and varied without causing harm to animals, then wouldn't it simply be logically to do so if one is wishing to develop compassion?
